Grand Canyon Rim to River done.
- Route: North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out
- Weather: Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river.
- Trail: Upper switchbacks held some icy patches before sun hit them.
- Water: We treated every water stop as optional and stayed over-prepared.
- Crowds: light
TLDR: Be friendly at the trailhead.
Already planning the next one.
